The Tale of the Void Emperor

The grakil race man and dision race man were surprised to hear Athan's suggestion, but they didn't mind it.

They almost thought that this human race member was an idiot seeing how he charged forward and punched the lizard monster. Though, soon they were impressed because, just like them, He had no problem evading the attacks of the lizard monster.

" I am going to make an opening, be sure to throw all of your attacks at that place. "

Saying this, Athan dashed forward with even faster speed than before by materializing the wings behind his back.

He nimbly dodged the incoming attacks and used chasm severing as he grabbed it with his right hand before zooming towards the neck of the lizard monster and threw the chasm severing.

The dision race man and grakil race man saw with wide eyes as seemingly a threatless purple slash projectile tore through the extremely tough neck of the lizard monster easily as if cutting a paper.

The power of purple slash ran out after it tore half of the lizard's neck.

" ATTACK!! "

Athan shouted towards the two daydreaming fools as he also started throwing attacks using his domain power.

The other two also started attacking as they threw deadly attacks.

The dision race man conjured two giant orbs with deadly blades spinning around them as they shot towards the lizard's neck and rained blood while the grakil race man condensed his rule domain as a giant phantom materialized that released terrifying flames of three different colors; red, green and black. The flames moved in a narrow and straight line towards the neck.

Both of their attacks hit the lizard monster simultaneously, and they didn't take any break as they released one more attack since they knew that whoever killed the lizard will have their Bloodmark filled by the increased amount.

Athan was also aiming for the killing blow as he was ready with another chasm severing, but Just then, A super-fast blood-red laser hit the lizard monster from a direction that was the other side of the lizard.

Athan cursed under his breath because whoever it was, That person timely aimed that blood-red laser as it took the life of the lizard monster.

The other two directly bellowed as they felt furious.

" DAMN!! "

" WHO IS IT ?"

Athan was silent because that blood-red laser's power felt very familiar to him, ' That was a Blood Magic...That's for sure. '

*ZOOOM....*

The kill stealer appeared, and Athan was surprised to see the person because he was from the human race.

He had a buffy body and short brown hair. After arriving, He spoke domineeringly towards the dision race and grakil race man, " You two, Leave here if you don't want to die. "

They could feel that this human race man was a threat to them as they glanced at Athan. Seeing this, Horokin laughed and said, " We both are human race members. do you think he would side with you? " He then looked at Athan with a smile, " Right, brother? "

Athan weirded out because this man was way older them him. He didn't respond, but the dision race man and grakil race man didn't linger and ran away. They believed that the two humans would likely work together, and they both saw terrifying powers these two humans wielded.

There was a silence for a minute as the lizard monster turned into smoke before a stone appeared.

Athan felt some pressure as Horokin grinned and used his rule domain. Athan also expanded his domain which unfortunately wasn't a rule domain, so Horokin's rule domain suppressed it. But he was not worried.

" You plan to attack me? " Athan asked while raising his eyebrows. He saw a blood-red orb floating around Horokin and guessed that It released the blood laser because he could feel that it was made from the same type of power as his two blood magic.

Horokin laughed and said, " Of course...Don't you also want to kill me? That way, you can get my blood magic. "

" Hmm? Is it possible to get it by killing the person who owns it? "

Horokin shrugged with a grin and said, " I don't know for now, but I'll soon know that after killing you. "

Saying this, He attacked Athan with the same blood-red laser.

Athan wanted to clash, so he used both of his blood magic as he blocked the attack.

This time, He was pushed back, but the attack failed to damage him.

After blocking the attack, Athan flew towards Horokin with his top speed, which brought shock onto Horokin's face as he hurriedly conjured a metal bell with brown and gold patterns in front of him.

Athan punched the bell as a deafening sound reverberated that hurt him, but his attack also produced countless cracks on the bell.

But before he could punch one more time, The bell broke apart as the blood laser hit him one more time, and he was smacked to the ground.

" Why aren't you using any rule power? " Horokin asked with confusion.

He didn't see Athan invoking any rule power, and his domain was also normal, which confused him. One more thing he was shocked about Athan was how his physical strength was so powerful. He had never met anyone with this much physical strength in this layer.

He saw Athan climbing out of the pit and throwing spiral blades towards him, ' I still can't sense any rule power from these attacks. '

Horokin frowned and materialized the giant bell once again to block the spiraling blades.

Seeing this, Athan made several illusion clones of himself, but the horned crown on his head remained unique.

Right after doing this, He threw both of his chakrams towards the right and left sides of Horokin and dashed forward.

Horokin snorted as he used his main power, " Rule domain condense. Devastating Vortex blades. "

Athan felt some pressure lifting off, but he also felt a terrifying power in front of him.

Several greys and a golden mixed colored vortex appeared around Horokin that started to release swirling blades towards Athan.

Athan grinned, seeing this as he disappeared and appeared at the place of his right chakram before shooting several super-fast condense bullets of various offensive nature such as penetrate, shatter, burst, speed, etc.

The bullets were mostly formed from offensive elemental primal energy such as fire, dust, plasma, metal, lighting, etc.

Horokin controlled some vortexes and pointed them towards the right side, but he also left some vortex to his left side.

He didn't take those chakrams seriously at first, but after seeing how Athan exchanged place with the chakram, he grew cautious.

Athan didn't exchange his place with his left chakram but instead appeared at the place where his right chakram was shooting and grabbed it before throwing it again.

This time, the chakram entered into the space channel and disappeared. Previously the chakrams didn't enter the space channel due to Horokin's rule domain, but now that he condensed his rule domain, He could let them space jump.

" It's gonna take some time to kill this guy. " Athan muttered after throwing his chakram and continued with his attack while dodging.

Athan couldn't find the chance to get close to him though it was only a matter of time when Horokin ran out of his energy since he was using his condense rule domain, which consumes a lot of energy.

Athan continued with dodging while exceptionally controlling his chakram such that Horokin failed to predict them and attacked him occasionally.

Horokin was covered in a sweat as he thought, ' Dammnit, I will soon run out of energy, and I can't see myself attacking this slippery guy. Damn damn damn. '

He became desperate due to the threat he felt and became irritated. He finally decided to run away as he was almost out of his gas, but Athan grasped this chance as he instantly arrived near him with his chakram and punched his head, which burst like a watermelon.

After Sorokin died, Athan saw smokes appearing, and a stone formed that was similar to the one that appears after killing a monster.

" Looks like people can't get the magic directly if they kill the wielder of the magic as they still have to comprehend it from the stone. "

Athan muttered as it didn't take long for the blood ball to form before it dissipated. He then saw this blood ball fusing into the one that was orbiting around his unima core.

After that, He went near the stone that appeared where the lizard monster died, and the same thing happened.
